### 5/5 — Game still crashes

*2026-07-23, version 1.65.3*

Saw the update was 6 days ago, but the game still crashes and closes…..

### 4/5 — Has been one of my favorites

*2026-07-19, version 1.65.3*

It’s hard to find a balance between using ads as a way to get more free bubbles to play/ finish the game, and having so many ads you spend more time watching them than playing! 
The latter was an issue until this past week, lots of disruptions. 
And now the former is a problem, because today when I run out of bubbles the option to watch an ad just spins and doesn’t allow me to, forcing me to spend points to continue playing. 

At some point will I use them all up and along with them my years of progress or be frozen unable to play without paying? I hope not, since this was my favorite relaxing app up to now. Please return the option to watch an ad when we run out of bubbles, thanks!

### 1/5 — There is an add after each 2 min level

*2026-07-18, version 1.65.3*

This has way too many adds, no idea how it got this rating… oh wait. Bot farms. It is a cute app but litterly more ads then game. Don’t get me wrong I understand the ads pay for development, but there is literally mor ads then game

### 1/5 — Jeannie

*2026-07-11, version 1.65.2*

The go

### 5/5 — Game crashed…. Not sure why..

*2026-07-02, version 1.65.2*

Just read the bugs and game were updated but the gsm keeps telling me it crashed.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-06-12, version 1.65.1*

Relaxing, easy game with cute characters.

### 2/5 — Free Owl

*2026-06-11, version 1.65.1*

What happened to the free owl we got when winning the first game?? Bring it back!

### 5/5 — THE BEST

*2026-05-27, version 1.65.0*

i remember playing this when i was 5yrs old it was my favourite thing ever! lately i have been thinking about the game and trying to remember what it was called, until i found it! i was full of joy and have started playing again. 10/10 would definitely recommend. its also a great game to play with friends and family if you’re into that kind of thing!

### 5/5 — Wonderful Game!

*2026-05-24, version 1.65.0*

I just started playing this game for the first time a few days ago, and I love it so much already! The game play is fun and creative, and the animations are detailed with vivid colors. All of the Simon’s Cat characters are hilarious and adorable at the same time! I can see why this game has an overall rating of 4.9 stars out of 5.0 on the App Store here. Simon’s Cat deserves all the love!

### 3/5 — Sketchy

*2026-05-20, version 1.64.0*

I’ve been playing for years. Never had an issue until the last few updates. It all too common now to finish a daily challenge and have the game freeze. No exit, no. Onus, only option is force quit. They’ve ruined a good thing. Fix the issue and I will update my rating accordingly. Right now, it’s not worth the effort to download and/or play. Sad failure for what used to be a great game.
